If you are facing a civil or criminal charge it can be overwhelming. I understand the emotional hardship you are facing. You need to find high quality experienced legal assistance when the outcome of your situation could mean jail, expensive fines and/or probation. And you must be able to depend on being represented by a defense that is tailored to your individual situation.

When looking for an attorney to represent you it is important to find someone who has:

Experience trying cases in various courts on a regular

basis;

Successfully handled hundreds of cases;

Has a proven track record.

I am an experienced trial attorney specializing in civil and criminal law and have practiced in the Knoxville area since 1972. With over 40 years of experience in both private practice and as an Assistant Public Defender for the State of Tennessee and Knox County I do not shy away from a challenge and I have a proven track record of success.

You can depend on my personal, professional services for a reasonable fee.

What to do if you are arrested....

Be calm. Do NOT run or fight. You could make matters substantially worse or even dangerous for yourself.

Be quiet. Except for your name, you may remain silent. Please help to keep your rights intact by not offering information. The overwhelming majority of the time you will not be smart enough to talk yourself out of a legal situation -even if you are wrongly arrested. Be polite. Do not be rude or hostile. Do not give permission for any searches. Do not believe anything the officers may say to get you to talk about your case.

Make this request.The only exception to ‘Be Quiet’ is to state clearly and as soon as possible, ‘I want an attorney.’
